City Council adopted an ordinance on March 24, 2009 establishing Marion’s first Historic Preservation Commission. The Historic Preservation Commission is comprised of five members appointed by the Marion City Council who are responsible for the general oversight of the historic preservation ordinance. In addition, the Historic Preservation Commission is responsible for making recommendations to City Council on the nomination of local landmarks and districts.
